The Comparative Law Yearbook of International Business, published under the aegis of the Center for International Legal Studies, Austria, in this 44th volume, aims to add to the contemporary discourse by exploring a wide array of challenges faced in the arena of business law.

How the contractual laws of different jurisdictions deal with situations such as global health crises. The role of the World Trade Organization in enhancing the legitimacy of global economic governance within the scope of the trade laws. How the concept of naked licensing in trademark law differs in the United States, United Kingdom, and India. How the best effort clauses operate as a mechanism to deal with unenforceable obligations in pandemic-like situations and how it is difficult to implement and comply with the same. Whether PRIME Finance is the last link in the global governance of financial institutions on international law-making or just a part of the social circle. Whether mediation should be made compulsory for all commercial litigation cases or is it time for the new rendition of Halsey v. Milton Keynes? The legal challenges faced by the adoption of Insurtech in the Fintech Industry. How the ex-post mechanism of Corporate Insolvency and Bankruptcy laws differs with respect to the rights and position of creditors in the liquidation process in India and Germany. How the Corporate Governance Code varies across different jurisdictions such as Mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Japan, and Germany. How the international investment law uncovers the inequalities between foreign investors and states, developed and developing states, and foreign and domestic investors. The authors are practitioners and academics from Argentina, Australia, Belgium, China, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. They provide a nuanced perspective on a large spectrum of issues witnessed in the arena of business laws.

ISBN: 1040096425

This book focuses on the legitimacy of corporate power wielded by corporate groups, integrating legal doctrine, economic analysis, and theoretical approaches. It reassesses how corporate groups can maintain legitimacy whilst exercising corporate power. Corporate groups are a prominent commercial feature of many jurisdictions and present unique challenges. The book argues that when analysed through the lens of corporate social responsibility, a legitimacy deficiency emerges. This arises from a lack of historical debate, diluted control mechanisms, and inflated growth, utilising unique features of the corporate group. It explores how the magnified power of the corporate group presents acute challenges for corporate legitimacy. Data is utilised alongside current examples of corporate groups which identify structural architectural patterns. It explores new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and blockchain as ways of attaining legitimacy. It presents methods of attaining legitimacy for the continued wielding of power to be held within corporate groups. This book spans several research interests under the corporate law umbrella. It will be of interest to traditional black letter company lawyers. Additionally, it will be of interest to those who have an interest in business and those who are interested in the role of technology.

Corporate finance theory seeks to understand how incorporated firms address the financial constraints that affect their investment decisions. This is achieved by using varied financial instruments that seek to give holders different claims on the firm's assets. Recent scholarship in this area has highlighted the critical importance of the legal environment in explaining the choices that companies make about their capital structure. This book combines company law, capital markets law, and aspects of commercial and insolvency law to give readers a detailed understanding of the legal and regulatory issues relating to corporate finance. Informed by insights from theoretical and empirical work, the book examines from a legal perspective the key elements of corporate financing structures and capital markets in the UK. The authors' practical experience of transactions and regulatory issues ensures that thorough scholarly inquiry and critical reflection are complemented by an assured understanding of the interface between legal principles and rules as they are documented and in their actual operation. Key developments covered in this third edition include the post-Brexit adaptation of UK company law and capital market regulation, important new cases on parent company liability in tort, creditor-facing duties of directors, issuer and director liability for misleading statements to the market, alternatives to public market financing, and recent changes in the practice of debt finance.
